Shown in the figure is a semicircular metallic strip that has thickness t and resistivity $$\rho $$. Its inner radius is R₁ and outer radius is R₂. If a voltage V₀ is applied between its two ends, a current I flows in it. In addition, it is observed that a transverse voltage $$\Delta $$V develops between its inner and outer surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due to the current). Then (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)

Consider one mole of helium gas enclosed in a container at initial pressure P₁ and volume V₁. It expands isothermally to volume 4V₁. After this, the gas expands adiabatically and its volume becomes 32V₁. The work done by the gas during isothermal and adiabatic expansion processes are W_iso and W_adia, respectively. If the ratio $${{{W_{iso}}} \over {{W_{adia}}}}$$ = f ln 2, then f is ______.

Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at 0.00 cm and the right one at 90.00 cm. When you attempt to move both the fingers slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance, the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance x_R from the center (50.00 cm) of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are 0.40 and 0.32, respectively, the value of x_R (in cm) is ______.

When water is filled carefully in a glass, one can fill it to a height h above the rim of the glass due to the surface tension of water. To calculate h just before water starts flowing, model the shape of the water above the rim as a disc of thickness h having semicircular edges, as shown schematically in the figure. When the pressure of water at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension, the water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of water, its surface tension and the acceleration
due to gravity are 10³ kg m⁻³ , 0.07 Nm⁻¹ and 10 ms⁻² , respectively, the value of h (in mm) is _________.
